shiver
i punched out from the office at exactly 3pm and like what i used to do, i trail myself up to glorietta till i reach MRT..i usually ride the train home becuase it cuts a chunk of my travel time..today, i ceded myself at the last part of the train and stayed at the back leaning at the drivers door..when the train started to run after dropping off passengers at Shaw blvd, i noticed a guy in an off-white polo, black pants and a knapsack, seemingly perturbed and very uneasy (well, it’s actually the usual case in a not-so afternoon rush in the MRT..then suddenly, the guy started wiggling and collapsing..i was struck and glued on my feet, i didnt know what to do..i know pretty much that i heard the people shouting and grumbling to help the guy..i admit, though it’s a shame that i wasnt able to give a hand to the guy, who after some few minutes, i realized he was epileptic…when we reached Guadalupe station, the people started shouting to catch the attention of the guards but it took around a minute for the guard to come..two guys held out the guy’s both hands while the guard on the legs..the guy seemed to be lifeless..i was still glued in my place and i was looking for the guy outside which was laid on the floor..then i knees started to shake…i didnt know why, but it gave me a shiver…maybe because i wasnt able to give a hand…many things started running on my mind..stuffs like, it’s so hard to catch the attention of the guards on duty, why is that there’s no first aid kit or nurses ready in the MRT, and the worst, it came to my mind, what if i was the epileptic person…thanks GOD there are still good guys ready to give hands to people in need especially in emergency cases..and i guess i need to say this prayer, "Lord forgive me that i wasnt able to help the guy..i thank You that im more fortunate than the guy because im fit and i dont have such condition..Lord, for the blessings you prepare for me before the end of the day, i hope it wouldnt be too much to ask if you cut a little and give it to the epileptic guy becuase i know he needs more than i do..thank you God for using other people as an instrument for others.."
